Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pixel Pet Widget at 76% against Turtle's 20%. Pixel Pet Widget also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 5). Turtle's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
